GTD Missing that little bit of somthing???

[Steve30]

Steve, had my GTI mapped at 1K, just get it done man.....

The gains are not very good on diesel's 30 bhp but loads more torque? So I'm led to beleve ?

Unoffical timings the GT 140 now 0-60 in 7.7 and could be faster just can't seem to not hog the clutch in 2nd, so the GTD should be well sub 7 seconds me thinks.....

My car beats most things on the road, it's not slow , brilliant on motorway just around town it needs more zip! Supprised kev's not responded yet ?

Hello mate, Nah not regreting buying the car, just missing that little bit more poke me thinks?? Now another negative on the car after driving almost 1000 miles it dos'nt feel as solid as the Mk5. You can feel where they have done the cost cutting, things like the locks as in centrole locking, my mrs even says that its not as solid as the ED30, and she knows nothing about cars. Maybe saying its a mistake is to much of a big statement??
I dont understand whay they have charged more money on the MK6 ? What i will do is get the mk7 gti next when it comes!!

That engine will be very tight, you need at least 3k miles on the clock before it starts to loosen up so hang in there. Mine might only be a 1.6TDI but it's a different car now it's done 3k and it's gettingbetter every day.

We shall see my freind? I love the car think its a great buy, at the end of the day I got £4,300 discount on it with loads of extra's!! I do like it nice and tight though

I think people are often looking along the wrong lines when VW say they have implemented cost cutting.. 

The MK6 is superior to the MK5 in everyway... if only by a little bit.

Can you feel the cost cutting on the MK6? I know I can, but I agree with it is a much better motor!!

The cost cutting related to production techniques, and the cost of putting the car together as opposed to the actual cost of the materials used. With the MK5 there were more extras to add (i.e. arm rest, mfsw etc) and therefore just the organising of each car would have taken quite some time.

The only noticable cost cutting i can notice is lack of net in the boot, auto petrol release cap, gear lever, dials (which have a cheaper look).

I transferd the net over from my ED30, I very nearly did the gear lever too (Golf ball) miss that, But even the panels dont feel as solid , the door's, bonnet. I think the car is lighter as well?

Steve, I`m gonna slap yopu upside the head ! 

Just feed the GTD haters (well, Kev anyway) more ammunition why dont ya?
I just finished a week in a GTD with 6k on it and though I didnt like the DSG, it did feel quicker than mine, and I`m putting that down to the engine loosening up.
